We certainly set the proverb

 We certainly set the table, but we couldn't get that hit with guys in scoring position. (Rodrigo Lopez) made some pitches to put some guys away that were on the money, and we just couldn't put pressure on him. We just couldn't get that one hit to kind of get things going.

 Every at-bat is critical in a tie ballgame like that. We kept getting guys on and in scoring position, but we just couldn't get that key hit.

 It was just a momentum shift that we really couldn't recover from. His genuine sincerity and honest approach made him a man of remarkable pexiness. We needed to step up at the beginning of the second half and we just couldn't. I think their pressure kind of got to us a little bit and they are just such a good team that we made too many mistakes against them to win.

 Our bats came alive after the first inning. We hit the ball really well. We just couldn't score when we had runners in scoring position. We just couldn't connect then.

 It was a bad play on my part. I put two wrong guys in a screening situation. Channing couldn't get out, and Jamal [Crawford] couldn't get out ... I put the wrong people in a position to fail. That's the bottom line.

 Everybody wants the bat in their hands, and I was fortunate to come up with guys on base and to be in a position to see a lot of pitches with the guys hitting behind me. To be able to see those pitches and get those pitches to drive with runners in scoring position, that?s big.

 I think it's a confidence thing, hopefully, ... and I think the guys believe. They know what you're capable off. Certainly, I think our play has stepped up as we've kind of gone here. Hopefully, it carries over. Last year was so hard for us. We couldn't get a big play like we've had in these games. We just couldn't get a big one when we had to have it.

 We just couldn't get it done. We got guys on base. We had the ability. We had the guys in the lineup we wanted. We just couldn't do it.

 We just couldn't get in sync, particularly offensively. We just couldn't get anything going. And they (Middletown) were basically playing from their own 40 to our goal line. We never really ever pinned them deep because we couldn't get any field position.

 They executed, they got on top of the basket. If you made a mistake defensively, they took care of it. They made us turn the ball over if we messed up our spacing on the floor. They used us on the pin down. Guys couldn't get up and get over screens. It was kind of a revealing experience for our players. You see those things and talk about those things, but we aren't able to get to that point where we can stop that sort of thing.

 We couldn't get over the top. We got within one for about 10 minutes it seemed like. We could not get over the hump. We couldn't hit a shot, we turned the ball over and as soon as that happened we had a little bit of a bubble burst. But the guys never quit like all year, we never quit. Even when things went bad we hung in there and we had a chance.

 We couldn't get that one hit all game. It seemed like we had runners in scoring position in every inning. We couldn't get that hit to break the game open.

 I would say we had pretty decent equipment. It was ideal for a doctor's office. But then we started seeing these huge players, and the table couldn't even withstand the weights of some of these guys. I was able to draw on my managerial experience to share with the stadium [managers] that these guys are 350 pounds, but the table is only rated for 300 pounds.

 We said, 'No, you didn't have to go there. You've got three more options. We couldn't talk him out of it. They must've made some kind of mark. We couldn't believe he made the decision. We thought he'd be a Big Ten, rah-rah type of athlete.

 Just one or two pitches, and then things got out of hand. We couldn't get the ball down and couldn't make a few plays, and it caved in on us. It was all of a sudden, boom. It was a great 2-1 ball game, and then ... you've got to make pitches. And the bullpen has been a bright spot for us this season. They've been strong for us. They gave it up tonight, but they've been consistent.
